Hey everyone,

These guys (http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Guardians_of_Celeres) were introduced in the 6th Edition Rulebook, I've decided to do a small contingent of them and give them some life. We don't know anything about them bar their colours, so I've given them some background that I'll type up and post here.

I'm painting up a demo model currently, he'll be posted when he gets finished.
The colours that I'm going for are these:

Armour
Caliban Green - Basecoat
Coelia Greenshade - Wash
Incubi Darkness - Highlight (even if it is a base colour)
Kabalite Green - Highlight 2
Waywatcher Green - Glaze (tie all colours together)

Shoulder Pads
Trim
Balthasar Gold - Base
Cassandora Yellow - Light Wash
Auric Armour Gold - Layer
Runefang Silver - Edge Highlight

Centre
Celestra Grey - Base (apply thin)
Ulthuan Grey - Layer (apply thin)
Ceramite White - Layer (apply thin until solid colour)

Then do the Chapter symbol in black.

Expect updates soon.

Romulus would be a good Chapter master name.

Ha! I was right!

Pronunciation: Kell-air-ays

Thanks for forwarding me that dude! Now I have names!
The Chapter Master is now Romulus.

I'll go with Captain Titus Livius Patavinus for my force leader.

They also got "Totemic Charm" when I was rolling up the Chapter, so I'll have that as the little golden skull badge displayed on that guy.

What kind of aesthetic should I go for? A cross between Ultramarines and Blood Angels?

This MUST be integrated into the design
